[Video below.] A storm of outrage erupted Sunday night following violent clashes between police and chareidi demonstrators at the Givat Shmuel junction, where members of the Peleg Yerushalmi were protesting the arrest of yeshiva students labeled as draft evaders. Graphic footage obtained by Matzav.com shows a police officer striking, choking, and throwing a young chareidi boy to the ground.
The protest took place amid a tense and chaotic evening in Bnei Brak and surrounding access roads, as demonstrators took to the streets in response to recent arrests of yeshiva bochurim. According to eyewitnesses, security forces moved forcefully to disperse the crowd, leading to physical confrontations and scenes that many described as shocking.
As police declared the demonstration illegal and began clearing the roadway, a video published from the scene quickly spread through the chareidi community. The footage shows a police officer slapping a young boy, gripping him by the neck, and hurling him to the ground with apparent brutality.
In response to the uproar, Police Commissioner Danny Levy ordered an immediate internal investigation and instructed that the officer involved be removed from operational duty pending clarification of the incident.

I see these young men blocking roads and streets, causing tzar to thousands of drivers and passengers that have nothing to do with the gzeiras shmad, but but but, I don’t see any of their Roshei Yeshivos or leaders of Peleg by these traffic mayhem causes. Why is that?
They have nothing to do with the gzeiras shmad? Sure they do! Let them fight against it. It’s not our fault that Hashem sends enemies into Israel.
How do you know what you are saying is true? Do you disagree with the Posuk of הַלְאֵ֥ל יְלַמֶּד־דָּ֑עַת וְ֜ה֗וּא רָמִ֥ים יִשְׁפּֽוֹט?
Back in the days of the suicide bombers I was learning by Rav Dovid Solovachick ztz’l who is on the good list of even the biggest anti-Zionist Kanoim. He would frequently speak about doing teshuva after shiur on the day of a suicide bomb. R’L He always would say during these smuzin that the secular Isrealis are Tinokos Sh’nisba and it isn’t them who are expected to change as a results of them.
On a personal note. Even if you would be right. It is very unhealthy b’ruchnuis u’bagamuis to be as consumed by hatred as you obviously are. That which the posuk that says שִׂנְאָה תְּעוֹרֵ֣ר מְדָנִ֑ים and the mishna says שִׂנְאַת הַבְּרִיּוֹת מוֹצִיאִין אֶת הָאָדָם מִן הָעוֹלָם is screaming to us from some of the posts here.
how do you know their roshei yeshiva aren’t there?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Why are all the protesters under 17? Where are the adults?
the cops that did it should go to prison
someone lost their temper….
he shouldn’t be a cop
